RTO Form 30: Report of Transfer of Ownership of a Motor Vehicle

Automobile owners require RTO Form 30 when they sell their vehicle. After you apply for the transfer the ownership of the four-wheeler to the concerned RTO, it becomes essential to report to the native RTO to conduct all formalities regarding the change of hands urgently. So, we can say that Form 30 is a confirmation of Form 29. Candidates need to apply for this document within 14 days of selling their automobile. Form 30 ensures that the new owner should take care of all legal liabilities concerning the vehicle. It also establishes that the original owner has handed over the Certificate of Registration and the Certificate of Insurance to the buyer.

Key Factors to be considered while filling Form 30

• Do not get confused between the terms ‘transferor’ and ‘transferee’. A ‘transferor’ is the person who sells the automobile, while a ‘transferee’ buys the vehicle like Tata Yodha.
• The concluding part of Form 30 consists of the specimen signature or thumb impression of the registered owner and the Financier. The representative of the Registering Authority validates this document by affixing the official seal in such fashion that parts of the impression of the stamp should remain placed upon each signature.
